What happens in the electrolysis of a solution if the non-metal contains oxygen?
Oxygen gas is formed at the anode.
What’s attracted to the anode if the non-metal contains oxygen?
The OH⁻ ions formed from the ionisation of water are attracted to the anode.
What happens to the OH ions once it’s attracted to the anode?
The OH⁻ ions lose electrons to the anode and form oxygen gas.
Write the symbol equation when oxygen is at the anode:
4OH⁻ → O₂ + 2H₂O + 4e⁻
What happens in the electrolysis of a solution if the non-metal contains a halogen?
The halogen gas is formed at the anode.
Write the symbol equation when a halogen is at the anode:
2Cl⁻ → Cl₂ +2e⁻
